Van Don District, Quang Ninh has been famous for its products from milk oysters for many years. Here, both the output and the farming area are increasing every year. That has raised the issue of increasing the value of this locality’s strong products, instead of exporting whole or shelled. Among them, oyster floss is one of the famous products that is receiving attention for development.
Fluffy, light and spongy are the characteristics of milk oyster floss. According to the owner of the production facility, because oysters are mollusks and do not have long meat fibers, the oyster floss product will be mixed with a certain proportion of shrimp and meat floss. This additional mixing helps the oyster floss to create sweetness and reduce the fishy smell without using additives or chemicals. After being canned, the oyster floss will be sterilized by boiling for 45 minutes at 100 degrees.
Oyster floss produced under conditions that ensure food safety not only increases the value of milk oysters but also helps consumers have more choices for their family meals. However, the production of milk oysters into products is still quite limited due to difficulties in developing processing plants.
